Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Negotiation_1

Wansheng Venture Capital, General Manager’s Office.

Liu Jianping and his son Liu Chao sat facing each other.

"Dad, that Ghana Gold Mine Project you’re talking about is not reliable. Listen to me and invest in the guild instead."

Liu Chao tried to persuade Liu Jianping to invest in the acquisition of a guild.

"The Ghana Gold Mine, my friend said there’s real gold there. Just secure it, locate the gold, and you’ll absolutely make a fortune," Liu Jianping frowned and said.

Duan Jinnian, the technical director of the Xijiang Gold Company in the Ghana Gold Mine Project, was his friend.

Xijiang Gold Company had been unable to find a significant gold deposit for so long that they wanted to give up and transfer the mine.

A few days ago, Duan Jinnian called him, urging him to take over.

This friend had helped him a lot during his entrepreneurial process, and he trusted him deeply.

Duan Jinnian was a technical expert, and his explorations were almost never wrong.

The gold in the Ghana Gold Mine was just a bit difficult to find, but once located, it could lead to a massive profit.

However, these past few days, his son had been urging him daily to invest in the acquisition of a live-streaming guild.

Liu Jianping was naturally aware of live-streaming guilds as well.

If managed well, a live-streaming guild could indeed make money quickly and have high earning potential.

But if they found the gold in the Ghana mine, the earnings could be explosive.

These past few days he had been unable to decide which investment to pursue.

"Dad, just listen to me, invest in the live-streaming guild."

"If there really was a large amount of gold in that Ghanaian mine, why would Xijiang Gold Company want to transfer it at a low price? Wouldn’t it be better for them to mine it themselves?"

"Besides, Xijiang Gold Company has been searching for so long and only found a tiny amount of scattered gold."

"Their current transfer is just looking for a fool to take over. You must not fall into such a big trap."

"Investing in a live-streaming guild is different. I’ve told you so many times about the Dongyan Guild’s live-stream merchandise sale."

"In just half a day, their sales exceeded two hundred million, and the profits were tens of millions. That’s what really making a fortune is."

"Dad, after that live sale by Dongyan Guild, many investors raced to join the investment in live-streaming guilds, wanting to share this huge cake."

"Now that Doule has just opened up live merchandise sales, if you enter the market now, you can still eat meat. If you’re late, you’ll only get soup."

Liu Chao urged anxiously.

Having heard what his son said, Liu Jianping weighed it in his heart for a long time and then nodded, "Okay, I’ll follow your advice and invest in a live-streaming guild. Find a suitable one to acquire."

Eventually, he decided to listen to his son’s persuasion and invest in the acquisition of a live-streaming guild.

His son was right, Xijiang Gold Company was not a fool; their eagerness to transfer was indeed a search for someone to take over the burden.

If Xijiang Gold Company had not found a significant amount of gold in the mine after so long, the chances of finding it himself after acquiring it were also very low.

Even if it was there, he would not find it quickly and would have to keep pouring money into it.

There’s no telling when there would be a return.

Such a project, with its great uncertainties, indeed shouldn’t be invested in.

A live-streaming guild, if done well, could also make a lot of money.

A single live sale could generate tens of millions in profit.

These types of projects, comparatively speaking, were more reliable.

Even if it weren’t as successful as Dongyan Guild, making millions or tens of millions from a live sale would still be quite good.

"Dad, rest assured, I can guarantee that your decision is correct. The revenue from the live-streaming guild will definitely exceed your expectations. I’ll immediately start looking for a suitable guild to acquire," Liu Chao said excitedly.

Finally having persuaded his father, acquiring a live-streaming guild for live merchandise sales, they could make a major profit.

Furthermore, they couldn’t let the Dongyan Guild have it easy in the future.

That Wang Jingpeng actually refused his invitation, truly unappreciative of his good intentions, refusing the toast only to face the consequences later.

Thinking of acquiring a live-streaming guild and then fiercely attacking Dongyan Guild, making it go out of business to win Chen Yuting’s favor, a flash of excitement crossed Liu Chao’s eyes.

...

Shen Dong spent two days assembling a negotiation team.

Negotiating with the upper echelons of a company like Xijiang Gold Company required a professional team.

Otherwise, one could get fleeced without even realizing it.

He spent over two million to recruit several professionals and temporarily formed a specialized team.

This team consisted of legal experts, financial experts, gold industry experts, and other related professionals.

Having money made things easier; as long as you had money, finding talent was quite simple.

These experts, as long as you paid them a bit more, were indeed accessible.

Tomorrow was the day to negotiate with the higher-ups of Xijiang Gold Company.

At night, Shen Dong discussed the matter with Chen Yuyan.

"Husband, if you acquire that gold mine in Ghana, will you have to go there?" Chen Yuyan asked.

"Yes, I’ll be going there for a while," Shen Dong replied.

"I heard Ghana is quite chaotic," Chen Yuyan said with concern.

"Don’t worry, I will hire bodyguards to accompany me; there won’t be any safety issues," Shen Dong assured.

Shen Dong knew that Ghana was chaotic, but the chance to make eight hundred million in a short period was worth the risk.

Eight hundred million was indeed worth taking the risk for.

Besides, spending more to hire bodyguards should mean there wouldn’t be any problems.

Once there, as long as he didn’t encounter any large-scale armed forces, he should be worry-free.

...

In the morning.

Shen Dong and his professional team took a flight to Chang City, where Xijiang Gold Company was located.

At four in the afternoon, they arrived at Xijiang Gold Company.

In the conference room, both parties began negotiations.

The person in charge of negotiations for Xijiang Gold Company was Ding Fu.

He had already prepared the documents and allowed Shen Dong’s team to review them.

Xijiang Gold Company’s reason for transferring the gold mine was that the company was experiencing financial difficulties and couldn’t continue to develop the mine, hence the transfer.

This pretext was quite beautiful; they simply wanted to sell it at a good price.

Xijiang Gold Company’s asking price was one billion.

Shen Dong, having received an email from the system, knew the situation of the gold mine project and naturally would not spend so much money.

Besides, he didn’t have that much money right now.

"Mr. Ding, I’ve investigated the gold mine, and we both clearly understand why your company wants to transfer it," Shen Dong said.

"It comes down to the fact that you haven’t found any gold, and you believe it’s improbable that you will. You want to cut your losses and withdraw to avoid sinking further money into this bottomless pit of a project."

"So don’t treat me like a fool; a price of one billion is impossible."

Shen Dong felt it was somewhat amusing; this guy was really asking for the moon.

Upon hearing this, Ding Fu’s expression changed slightly.

This guy looked young and seemed easy to fool.

It seemed that nobody was a fool, and even the young were not so easily deceived.

Ding Fu asked, "I’d like to ask Mr. Shen, knowing the situation, why do you still want to acquire it?"

Shen Dong smiled faintly, "Mr. Ding, I don’t mind telling you, I’m just spending some money to take a gamble. If I can find gold, I’ll make a fortune; if not, then that’s it. I’ll just consider the money thrown into the sea. I don’t care."

This reason was perfect, to avoid suspicion from others should gold be found later on.
